Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Big Brother’s Peach Blossom Disaster_1

While they were talking, Shen Tianrui had already driven his favorite Jeep, bringing that woman over.

Shen Tianxing released her Divine Sense, noticing that Shen Tianrui parked his car at the gate of her family’s villa, got out first, and then gallantly ran to the passenger side to help the woman down from the vehicle.

And that woman appeared to take it for granted, as if it was only natural for Shen Tianrui to treat her this way.

When Shen Tianxing got a clear look at the woman’s face, she indeed recognized her as the person fated to be Shen Tianrui’s Peach Blossom Disaster.

Shen Tianxing’s expression instantly turned grim.

The woman in question was indeed very attractive.

She had long, straight, black hair that fell to her waist, a delicate and adorable figure, and she looked like a pure white flower, fragile yet endearing.

Many men with a strong sense of masculinity liked this type of demure, dependent woman.

And Shen Tianrui’s personality was precisely inclined towards such masculinity.

So now, Shen Tianxing still did not know, was her eldest cousin truly smitten with this woman, or was there another explanation?

If her eldest cousin was indeed captivated by this woman, it would probably take some effort to extricate him from this emotional quagmire.

As Shen Tianrui led the woman into the villa’s courtyard, he immediately saw his younger cousin sister, Shen Tianxing, standing at the entrance of the villa, smilingly watching them.

Shen Tianrui glanced at Bai Xiaolian next to him, feeling his handsome face heat up as if this clever little cousin had seen right through his thoughts.

Shen Tianxing observed that, although Shen Tianrui brought Bai Xiaolian into her family’s villa courtyard, they did not hold hands, which suggested that their relationship was probably not yet in a state of passionate love.

Shen Tianxing breathed a sigh of relief.

This was good, for at least she might still be able to save the situation.

What concerned her most now was the possibility that if Shen Tianrui insisted on marrying no one but Bai Xiaolian, then to help him overcome his Peach Blossom Disaster, she might have to resort to extreme measures.

If matters involving family could be resolved rationally, Shen Tianxing really did not want to use such extreme measures on her own family.

Shen Tianrui, leading Bai Xiaolian, came up to Shen Tianxing and smilingly took out his birthday gift, "Xiaoxing, happy birthday!"

Shen Tianxing accepted the gift, and with a smile, she said, "Thank you, big brother! And this is..."

Shen Tianrui quickly introduced her, "This is Comrade Bai Xiaolian, a colleague from our public security bureau’s logistics department."

To save Bai Xiaolian’s face and out of fear that she might feel intimidated and embarrassed, Shen Tianrui did not reveal to Shen Tianxing that Bai Xiaolian was actually a temporary worker in the canteen, only saying she was a colleague from the logistics department.

Bai Xiaolian’s expression seemed a bit timid, and when she looked at Shen Tianxing, it was as if she feared being sent away, carefully pulling out a gift from her bag and handing it to Shen Tianxing, "Sister Shen, I wish you a happy birthday!"

Shen Tianxing received her gift and politely smiled, "Thank you, Miss Bai. Big brother, you’re late today, and everyone’s been waiting for you, so you’ll have to drink a penalty of three cups in a moment."

Shen Tianrui was always full of affection and tolerance for Shen Tianxing, basically going along with whatever she said.

Hearing her say this now, he laughed and replied, "Alright, I’ll drink three cups as a penalty in a bit."

Bai Xiaolian stood by, looking at Shen Tianrui, seeming like she wanted to persuade him but didn’t dare to.

Shen Tianxing pretended not to notice and said to Shen Tianrui, "Big brother, please bring Miss Bai inside!"

When Shen Tianrui led Bai Xiaolian inside, the gazes of the dozen or so people in the room immediately focused on them.

Bai Xiaolian seemed somewhat shy, timidly standing by Shen Tianrui’s side, even quietly clutching his sleeve.

She was smart, aware that Shen Tianrui hadn’t fallen for her completely yet, so she didn’t dare to directly hold his hand, fearing that doing too much might result in his rejection, casting her off abruptly.

Yet her appropriately measured demeanor led everyone present to assume she was Shen Tianrui’s girlfriend.

Seeing everyone’s scrutinizing looks, Shen Tianrui also felt a bit embarrassed, but still introduced Bai Xiaolian with integrity, "This is Bai Xiaolian, a colleague from our Public Security Bureau’s logistics department."

Bai Xiaolian also smiled timidly at everyone, "Hello, everyone! I’m Bai Xiaolian. I apologize for intruding today; I hope I’m not disturbing you."

Upon hearing Shen Tianrui’s introduction, people realized that Shen Tianrui and this Bai Xiaolian were not yet a couple.

Shen Wenjun and Ma Hongying, the uncles of the Shen Family, although they hoped their own 27-year-old son would marry soon, also favored girls who were generous and straightforward.

Seeing Bai Xiaolian’s timid and frail appearance at this moment, they couldn’t really take to her, not wishing for their son to have a bride like this.

But having been a village official for so many years, Uncle Shen had developed a knack for social engagement.

And Mistress Li Xiuxia, being a sensible person, although they inwardly criticized this, outwardly they would never let their son be embarrassed.

Li Xiuxia also greeted the guests with a smile, "Miss Bai, is it? Come and sit with Tianrui!"

Bai Xiaolian obediently responded, "Thank you, Auntie."

By this time, the enormous round table at Shen Tianxing’s house, capable of seating twenty people, had already been arranged by Dugu Zixi herself, filled with delicious dishes they had prepared, as well as fine wines, desserts, snacks, and so forth...

To make it easier for everyone to serve themselves, they had prepared a double portion of every delicacy, all generous in size. No matter which side of the round table the turntable rotated to, everyone could reach their favorite dishes.

After everyone had taken their seats, Shen Tianxing, the little birthday star, was the first to raise his glass, smiling at all the relatives and friends present, "My dearest elders, my friends, and Miss Bai, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my birthday banquet. I’d like to toast to all of you first, hoping you will enjoy the food and have fun tonight. Come, let us all make a wish together, wishing everyone a complete and happy life!"

Everyone raised their glasses in unison, also smiling and saying to Shen Tianxing, "Xiaoxing, happy birthday!"

"Xiaoxing, may you have days like today every year, and may each year be better than the last!"

"Xiaoxing, I wish you growing beauty and everlasting youth!"

"Xiaoxing, I wish you academic progress and success in everything!"

"Xiaoxing, I also wish you happiness and joy!"

"Xiaoxing..."

"Xiaoxing..."

Listening to everyone’s kind wishes, one after another, Shen Tianxing clinked glasses with each person, beaming with happiness, "Come, let’s all drink this one together!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

After everyone had finished this first glass, Shen Tianxing raised his glass again, addressing her parents, "This glass is to thank my mom and dad, for your guidance and upbringing. Without you, there would be no me, Shen Tianxing, today. Mom and Dad, I love you! Come, let’s drink up together!"
